Great feedback and insight. Appreciated. I'll checkout the MIT OCW and Khan Academy first. I'm hardly a beginner, but my skills feel a bit rusty and want to refresh them.

The Coursera Stanford [0] and Princeton [1] courses start again soon, February 20 to be exact. Not sure which one is better, but to refresh my atrophied CS skills of 10 years I've joined the Stanford course. Not sure how it compares to

[0] TextMate 2 is quite active on GitHub. I like it because it is open source and it is a native app. I like and use Vim and Sublime also, but having a nice light native text/programmers editor has something going for it. Sublime just

I had this problem with U-Verse DSL when I lived in Tulsa. I did not have this issue with AT&T Fiber in Austin. They do not appear to be throttling any services or websites like I experienced with AT&T U-Verse DSL in Tulsa.

I'm in Austin and have access to AT&T Fiber, Google Fiber, and I think even Grande Fiber (I live downtown). All are about the same price. Before I got Google Fiber I had AT&T Fiber. There is absolutely zero difference in speed

I also live in Austin. I moved downtown and got rid of my car 1.5 years ago. I bike everywhere, including work every day (3 miles) and I don't have the sweats and showers problem. Unless you bike to work in the middle of the afternoon,

Previously, I used Vim. Now I use Emacs via Spacemacs. I honestly probably can't give a reason for changing. I wanted to check out Org and Magit. I also got tired of maintaining and hacking my .vimrc, endlessly tweaking it to never fee

I've owned an Aeron, Steelcase Leap (v2), and the Embody. All for multiple years. I prefer the Embody. I can sit comfortably in it the longest without any complaints. I think it's almost the perfect chair. The Aeron I found extrem

Wonderful service! How do you keep it accurate and updated? The problem I have seen with other similar services is that they aren't accurate. They will say it's on Netflix or Amazon Prime or Hulu when it's not. Also, maybe yo

For me it's mostly because of build quality (keyboard, casing, screen, feel, ...) and a functional pointing device. No other laptop I have used has a useable trackpad and most have a keyboard that is unusable. The only other laptop I h
